/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Having some gratin. Aside of that one voice actor Cotton Soft seems to love (and I hate with a passion) it's fun so far.

>>18330828
Did you consider my advice?

>>18328189
Google it, you can find it pretty easily.

Man the H-scenes in Aoitori are pretty good. Beside how extremely erotic the sex itself and the art, the writing is pretty good. I can't describe how but they show a " female's warmth and kindness " in accurate way. Like it Shows that only and only females are able to make these kind of expression, say these kind of things to the person they lovd during sex. Sometimes you find something like this line " she isn't a girl anymore, she has a women face on her now "

To be honest I can't get enough of this feeling, lately with all the feminist, gender equality bullshit I become somehow gulity of treating girls based on their gender, I am afraid I am not treating them as human. But this game reminded me, it's pretty fucking nice for female to have a female-only property. It's pretty nice for a girl to do a girl-like things.

Anyway, this is the second game I am reading the full H-scene beside Chronobox. Lately it seems eroge writers are only good at writing sex secens.

>>18331811
Nice man, why don't you tell your mother what you just told us? I'm sure she will be awed by your passion.

>>18331811
>Chronobox
>good sex

I'm still kinda thinking the sex was written deliberately "awful" because it was all just a dream by a penisless guy anyway. The scenes really fit that.

That said, once you stop thinking about "girl things" and "guy things", you'll enjoy stuff more. A girl is always a girl, no matter what kind of stuff she does.

>>18331900
>he isn't passionate about eroge and his fetishes
Why are you even here?

I like doing my own choices the first time I play a vn but now that I've finished Tsubaki's(first) and Ushio's route I was left with Neko's and it seems completely unrelated to the story; just a dumb japanese teen love story with the girl feeling embarrassed of holding hands and being called by her name

I want to play the second game already :(

>>18332268
Her inter monologue with going kyaa all the time was pretty cute though.

>>18332268
Don't do the side routes

>>18332280
It was pretty all right in the beginning but especially now after reading Ushio's route before hers(which was a terrible mistake) I just feel myself trudging through hers
>>18332292
I have issues and I need to finish all them routes before jumping to the sequel

>>18332321
Oh I also forgot to say that I want to fug the principal dat midget

>>18332337
If you like her make sure to read the recap section in the second game's main menu since she's the one retelling the first game and doing meta commentary.

Screw nee-sans
Screw imoutos
The future is twins

>>18333074

Yes. Less boring though, please.

Big tits are the best.

>>18333198
hers are too big

>>18333329

>>18333108
What's this then?

>>18333384
Tsui Yuri

>>18333481
Oh, that one. I have it on my backlog

Did you learn Japanese to read any specific VN?
Was it worth it?

>>18333640
Subahibi was the main one that kept me motivated. I was not disappointed.

But even if it had been disappointing, it was obviously still worth it, since now I can play whatever I want.

Did you learn Japanese to read any specific VN?
Did it live up to your expectations?

>>18332757
Will do

>>18333690
I started learning japanese because I was so frustrated that Sana from Mashiro Iro Symphony lost in the anime. Her loss and crying scence made a huge impact at me at that time that I learned Japanese just to play her route in the PSP version and make her happy.

>>18333690
I just saw DJT and started learning the shit out of Jap. No real interest in VNs though. I suppose my background is similar to yours in this regard.
Most VNs I have read are translated.

>>18333690
i think so but its hard to disentangle the vn itself from the sense of accomplishment of having read it

>>18333690

It will, if you do it right. Simply focus on learning and don't do much else, especially do not fap. Once you are finished and play your first VN and finally reach the first ero scene... oh boy.

>>18335449
>Once you are finished and play your first VN and finally reach the first ero scene... oh boy.
Then you realize that fapping to sadpanda is more fun, diverse and less of a waste of time.

>>18335461

Anon, plz.

>>18335461
Go back to /a/ and stay there

>>18335510
>>18335541
Ero is shit in eroge. The only thing nukige is better than is H-anime.

>>18335572
maybe you should read good eroge

>>18336052
Such as?

>>18335461
this desu
>>18333690
I wanted to read Secret game after reeading the translation of Killer queen so I started reading with mtl at first, then transfered to full time parser, learning grammar and shit on the way. Secret game was not that interesting but thanks to it I gained confidence and started reading other untranslated VNs like Euphoria and eventually gems like Baldr series and Muramasa. So in the end it was worth it.

>>18336088
Have you read Rebellion?

>>18336064

神様のゲーム－ author is writing the game sequel as a novel in his blog under the name 悪魔のゲーム.
http://midou.ciao.jp/ac/
Anyone knows how much the original game sold?
EGS reviews were positive, and the game seems to be kinda popular, I hope the makers decide to make the sequel novel as a proper game.

>>18336410
Sounds cool. EGS reviews were complaining about the ending, guess this is to fix that.

And this is precisely why I'm here. Route enforcement, yay. Only 4 girls to go till best girl.

>>18336460
What are the best NekoNeko/CottonSoft games?

Gin'iro, Mizuiro and Scarlett?

>>18336465
Sumire, Sanarara and 120 yen no Haru are also solid. Supposedly their new game is good too.

>>18336465
A lot of EGS overlords seem to really love Owaba.

>>18336465

I'm only going through Cotton Soft, and the only one I can kinda recommend is there first title so far. You gotta get past the prologue though. Gratin seems to be fine, but it is quite different from the other games. A lot more lewd in all ways with ero-ish scenes in the prologue even. (that said, the prologue IS 360kb..) Main Heroine is also a little different compared to what you get in their other games which is probably a negative for most people. A positive for me though, as I just don't like girls that are only "nice" and maybe a bit clumsy/dumb, but nothing else.

>>18336092
Nah. It's not written by either Hiei or Shiina plus it seems to have the same battle system as force aka shit balance.

>>18336887
What are you talking about? Rebellion, the prequel to Secret Game.

It really bothers me that Yuzusoft never discloses their heroines' heights or three sizes.

>>18336088
starting with secret game... lol
thats a tough one to start with

>>18336410
Don't read kamisama geemu under any circumstances. Seriously, fuck this guy and fuck his sequel, if its anything like the first one. It was the biggest disappointment of a plotge, ever, one big nothingburger. EGS is scoring it as a nukige, and its an ok nukige imho

>>18337678
Not really, it's a very entertaining game throughout. The only weak point is the ending.

Anyone have some good japanese Adventure game-style VNs they'd recommend?
Something along the lines of Portopia, Famicom Tantei Club, the earlier Ace Attorneys, Ichiyanagi Nagomu. (i.e. a little more interactive than the average Spike Chunsoft sound VN)

>>18337976
Isaku

>>18337732
The problem is that the ending is the whole thing. The novel is basically a mystery story about who these people are, why they are here, and at the end it drops the answer: theres no reason, its just random, sorry bad luck. Why is god doing this? No reason, he just does what he does.

It may be an answer to the mystery, but one get the feeling that the author didn't really put much effort into it.

That is why I don't really care about the sequel. Battle of wits is, more than mystery, not a genre for lazy writing.

>>18337976
dunno about good but maybe shinsou noise?

>>18337976
yu-no is probably one of the best adventure games ever created, it's definitely worth playing if you're a fan of the genre
also i'll second isaku too, very solid game

>>18337976
Lost Colors is one of the best for sure.

>>18338286
The VN is actually an adaptation of a web novel, the ending is VN original. The original most probably had a better ending judging by the rest of the content.

Any of you guys using scripts of VNs you read in case there is a kanji you don't know?
I can't seem to find the extracted text in Sanoba Witch scenario file.

>>18339089
use ithvnr?

>>18339176
Does it make a difference?
I'm using GARbro and I can extract the files no problem. It's just that there is no text file with script in scenario folder.

>>18339528
yuzusoft games have the script in binary .scn files
you want https://github.com/number201724/psbfile

>>18339528
It's probably encrypted or something. Why are you trying to make this harder than it is?

>>18339528
I seem to remember hearing a few years back that yuzusoft likes to do something weird with serializing their scripts, so it would probably take a fair bit of effort to access them.

>>18339528
>>18339552

I have no idea where I got it but this python script worked for me: https://mega.nz/#!BMtVVQQb!7b8DW_-CXpy7LZG6HwGS2QbJQ-DX5TuyJACg8gmswok

>>18339588
This gets the job done perfectly, thank you.
>>18339556
It me took longer to figure I've no python desu.

>>18336970
Ah, my bad. I thought you were talking about Baldr Bullet Rebellion.
Nah, I haven't. I just never got to it after getting a bit disappointed from Secret game:killer Queen. May read it eventually.
>>18337665
Really? I thought it was prety easy.
>>18337684
Lol.

>>18339089
Nah, I learned Japanese so I know kanji. And also kanji strokes to manually look up the rare kanji I don't know.

You could give it a try as well. I'd recommend it.

Has anyone here read the fandisc for Apeiria? After that true ending I have no idea how a fandisc could work without just being pretty awkward. Does it go more detail about the setting and explain more of the mystery or it just a forced excuse to have sex? I probably won't read it either way because I like that those two heroines are in love with each other and I don't want to NTR them away from each other but I'm interested to know.

Which Nitro+ game should I play as my first? Muramasa? Tokyo Necro?

>>18344210
Whatever you want.

>>18344232

>>18344245

The genre is dead. It's really good if we get one good eroge a year, but last year didn't have even one.

>>18344256
False, there were many great releases. You're just bitter and jaded.

>>18344256

Yo, I think I'm gonna start My Merry May/My Merry Maybe. Anyone got any reccomendations for it? General route order or something? I'm doing the My Merry May with be one, which i think combines both of them together.

>>18344256
Wait for Riddle Joker.

I found some game nested deep in my download folders, ちびパイア！ ～吸血姉妹とエッチでビッチな同棲性活～
Was that any good? I mean it doesn't seem like it would have much of a plot or anything from the title, but is it surprisingly alright or something to fast-forward to ero scenes through?

>>18345818
The only attractive heroine in that is the imouto.

>>18337684
I watch a few japanese streamers play this. They like it despite the slow moege.

Rolled "chuuni" for my next game to play. Could use some recommendation(s) there that's not the big/popular ones.

>>18348765
sora no baroque?

>>18348765
Mushi no Me comes to mind as a really good yet mostly unknown chuunige. Bradyon Veda isn't, uh... isn't quite a kamige but it's definitely interesting.

>>18348778
>Bradyon Veda
I wish the game didn't shit the bed so hard production values wise, the flashback was super interesting too which is a shame.

>>18341507

>Nah, I learned English so I know words.

>>18348896
Although I understand your argument, once you're fairly comfortable with Japanese we're talking about one or two unknown kanji appearing in the average game. Barely worth talking about, certainly not worth ripping the script of the game for.

Thanks for the replies.

Bug one seems somewhat interesting (and weird), but I may as well wait if the new version gets shared or something.
If I don't find anything else that's randomly picking my interest, I'll probably go with some 3rd eye. Recently read their first work, which had vampires, so I don't need those again right now.

Sora no Baroque is actually something I may like, given that it's supposed to be a little different from typical chuuni with battles being more means for plot than the main feature (or something?), but I'd like to at least get to Dies Irae before so I know what light usually stands for. Or, well, any other light game really.

Hmmm, trial for Imouto o Kegashita Kioku
http://hamham.sc/imokega/taiken.html

All my old tricks aren't working, even Alpharomdie which is a last resort for me.

>>18349476
Use Alpharom on SiglusEngine exe in Game Data folder and it should work.

>>18349476
Use NRL.

>>18349942
Yup. I would never have thought of that.

Are there any eroge that you'd consider to be criminally overlooked? Stuff that's pretty good but nobody really plays? What ones?

Is this even physically possible? lol

p.s: Takae best girl

>>18333690
To read Rewrite Harvest Festa, oh boy at that time I was so frustrated that the FD wasn't translated so I searched any way that I could read that and then I found agth and TA, and when at last I could read it through mecab it was so beautiful, and that was when I was 14 years old, and now I'm 18, what a memory.

I was hyped as fuck to read the FD of Lucia (best girl), though my first VN that I could read completely in japanese was Rance Quest(all hail Rance)

You guys were right, Dies irae HD has cropped boys even with the 4:3 aspect ratio.

What's your opinion on Tsuki ni Yorisou Otome no Sahou?

>>18351772
I dropped it when I realized the prologue was nothing like the rest of the game.

>>18351768
Oh wow.

>>18351768
expected.

>>18351768
wtf happened

>>18351772
Absolutely hilarious comedy. Drags a bit around the middle to end though. I recommend reading it.

Minor spoilers: Was driven a bit insane by the fact that he didn't reveal himself as a girl (male) for so long. I guess doing so would have been dangerous though.

>>18351772
The cross dressing premise really detracted from the game for me due the protagonist needing to constantly lie and the whole thing just being ridiculously unrealistic. Aside from that, the characters are nice and the comedy okay, but it's really just a mediocre game all around. It's funny how the prologue is vastly superior to the rest of the game. It sets expectations high just for them to be let down.

will this ever be translated? I can't find anything and it's been more than half a year since I have the VN in jap, just sitting there. help.

>>18352664
I'll have it translated by the end of the week.

>>18352681
I'll have it done in a few hours.

>>18352681

>>18330828
How difficult is the Japanese in Kara no shoujo when compared to saya no uta? I'm trying to read something dark but that's a little bit easier to read.

>>18352707
Look up screenshots/videos or try it for yourself. This isn't something someone can judge for you, only you know your own skill level.

>>18352741
That's why I was asking about the difficulty compared to Saya no Uta, but thanks anyway.
I mean, I have looked at some screenshots and shit already, but wanted to know if someone who actually finished the whole thing could compare them and give me a little ballpark.

>>18352664
>>18352695
>>18352707
>>18352756
Have you tried asking in the appropriate place for these kinds of questions?

>>18352785
Talking about the difficulty of a Japanese VN in a Japanese vn thread seems pretty apropriate to me. I think reddit tends to have tighter rules for that sort of thing, why don't you try your luck over there, pal?

>>18352829
>Talking about the difficulty of a Japanese VN in a Japanese vn thread seems pretty apropriate

Hey guys. I was wondering which choice I should pick here. Sorry for the resoultion, I am using my phone to play this VN.

God, I hate her so much.

Is melee ignore-tier in Bladr Sky, or do I just need to GIT GUD?

On another note, man, what a downgrade in heroines. At least Rain supposedly gets her own game.

>>18352946
You'll want to get the enemy in the air so that other enemies can't interrupt you, then just combo them to death. Honestly I was fine just using ranged weapons for the majority of the game. When I got to the last route I made a basic combo which made the rest of the game 2x easier.

>>18353081

Guess I'll buy that knee. I think that it's in the list of equipment that I can buy.

>>18352946

Melee sucks because of not all enemies staggering on your first hit. Meaning they just hit you back and you can't do anything about this. With guns it doesn't matter. The same thing obviously happens, but if you use the machinegun, they'll stagger soon enough and they are further away anyway.

That said, there are a few parts of the game where you should be fast and those tend to only have fodder where you can melee (and should, as melee is faster). That's it though. If you go ranged, think of supporting tools to help you. Mines and such. Other than that, ranged is probably a lot less of a hassle to setup as well. No need to figure out what combos into what, especially with aerial reach and all that shit. (and having to redo it after 5 battles, as the energy usage goes down making it no longer that great...)

>>18352829
Sadly this thread is fucked by these DJT EOPs.

>>18351772
Probably the best "charage" in existence.

>>18353369
Half the routes are hot garbage and Asahi barely has a personality beyond generic trap MC after the prologue.

Yeah, Sky was pretty much about aerial combos, then again it made me too familiar with doing that and got my ass kicked early in Heart since they added anti-air for mobs.

>>18353461
Sorry, I just screencap, paste it on paint and save it as png

>>18353504

Also if you don't want bully, don't underestimate rape and don't rape us with :( :) lol rofl and I don't even know what else has been floating around lately.

>>18353599

>>18352946
>quickly realize that melee is kinda tough to hit and results in getting your ass kicked
At the very start melee is worse because you don't have access to dashes, search dash, or good combo starters, but it quickly becomes more efficient than ranged once you unlock them. You also unlock moves that have superarmor which help you avoid getting knocked out of combos.
>guns are much safer and easier to use
You can plow through all of Dive1 on normal with just spreadbomb and bazooka, but melee if much faster and more fun in my opinion. In later routes on higher difficulties and survival where hordes of armored enemies are swarming you, ranged alone really doesn't cut it.
This is what I was using mid-Nanoha route. That's enough damage to 1shot any midweight enemy on hard difficulty and you can easily get more by using leveled up skills, I was switching them out all the time in order to unlock other ones or so as to not "waste" experience on already maxed ones, excluding a couple core skills like impact rod and tackle. The only ranged weapons I was using were handgun and bazooka. Handgun (which would be swapped out once it hits level 3) to pick off stragglers with low health, and bazooka for aoe and as a panic button if tackle wasn't available.

>>18352946
I started with ranged beacuse it was easier but then began developing melee and never went back. This is not Force where you can just spam 3 ranged weapons through the whole game on hard difficulty and brease through.
>ignore-tier
In Sky melee is the king. Git gud.

In Force though... I kinda couldn't anything done with it.

>>18353666

Somebody got to know the existence of visual novels or galges through kami nomi zo shiru sekai?

Tbh it was my main motivation to start playing back in the day, sadly the manga fucked up at the end.

It's time to learn Japanese emoticons again.
『凸(ﾟ皿ﾟﾒ)ｳﾗｧｧｱｱ!!』

>>18355873
I actually played the GBA love hina game as a teen back in 2008 I think but I didn't know it was a visual novel and didn't try to search for similar games.
I learned about the term while googling about School days after watching the anime but although sekai project was already fantranslating it, it would take a while for the translation to be finished and I let it go. After watching kami nomi I was reminded of vns and decided to play them already! (still haven't played school days though. probably for the best)

>Baldr Sky

Hey Nanoha, you know why you feel like such an insignificant little turd when you compare yourself to Rain? BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE, you boring, spiteful, cowardly (this is what anger displacement is), manipulative (this is why women who cry a lot, cry a lot) little cunt.

I might just speedread the romance-building parts of this route. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to continue slogging through this shit.

>>18357423
It's a shame that Hiei and GIGA didn't have the balls to not break away from the formula and actually do something different and just resorted to formulaic bullshit, but hey, what can you do, i guess. Can't blame them for wanting to sell the thing.

>>18357487

I don't mind the dating sim format. I just hate going through routes for characters that I hate. The best solution here is to simply not write unlikable heroines.

>>18352829
This is more of a thread about the games itself and what happens in them (plot, characters etc)

There are other threads (at least 1 at all times) about learning Japanese and how hard shit is to read

The best solution is to not have routes centered around heroines. The route system is one of the worst thing plaguing VNs and should be abolished.

>>18357565
Yeah, it's really a shame that the only companies that tried to different and unique shit like Elf are dead. At least alicesoft is still around, i guess.

>>18357761
liar soft does weird and unique shit and still alive. Most of their games don't even have heroine's routes.
And don't forget nitroplus, shimokura will save eroge industry soon.

>>18355563
thanks you for the image format education ma dude.

>>18355873
fucking yes, 1st manga i read while it was ongoing to its end, my childhood through primary school-10th grade.(other shit i read after all chapters were out or just dropped)

>>18357549
Yeah, I know, but you can never be sure the people there have played as many vns as the people in here or that they play them in the first place.
I mean, I know I could have posted in the djt, but that doesn't make posting the question in here is wrong anyway.
Ultimately the same argument could be given to me over there:
"This is more of a thread where we discuss the Japanese language (grammar, vocabulary and learning methods), There are other threads (at least 1 at all times) about visual novels."

Anyway, is there a way to play Shizuku with the old graphics but the new music and voice acting?

I know it may seem blasphemous to some of you, but I can't listen to the old synth without it burning me out (not that I hate it or anything, I loved YU-NO's ost, for example) from the old version and I'd like to have voice acting because it would help with my reading, but I love old pc-98 graphics and there are really few GOOD pc-98 games out there, while there are thousands of current vns with current graphics.

>>18358437
You're only showing that you don't lurk enough. If you actually browsed both threads for a while you'd know what's appropriate to post in which thread. You're thinking about it in black and white without considering thread culture.

>>18358481
I don't really agree with the lurk more mentality, but it's fine.
I supposed noone would get so angry at my post, since this thread is not the fastest thread on 4chan and the question was not so out of place, at least in my eyes, but I will post questions pertinent to the language in the other thread from now on.

what are some games where the protag has angry sex with the main villain

Not really 2, 4, 5D, 6, or 7 either. The main villain is often a dude.

Doesn't he fuck Camilla there?

>>18360501
Abert is the main villain. Not only is he the true last boss, but he's been there since the beginning fucking things up (killing Urza's parents, trapping Rizna, etc) instead of only appearing halfway through like Camilia. Of course this is arguable and you can call Camilia the main villain, it's not a big deal. I just consider Abert to be the main villain.

An impressive amount if friends.

>>18359387
It is not? What about さようならを教えて then?

>>18361532
>>18361568

I do like both things, but at the moment I'm more interested in denpa stuff, from what I've read about denpa.

I've liked ever 17, 999 and YU-NO and Saya no Uta.
Of all of them, my favorite has to be YU-NO, but I'm also looking for something shorter, as my japanese is not really good (The only one I've read in Japanese is Saya).

>>18361921
Then read Sayooshi, it's short.

>>18361970
Ok, will do. Thanks.

>>18353461
Ok. Now she gives off the impression that she didn't receive enough parental attention as a kid. Also had thought the butler was just playing mind tricks to get 特査分室 to help them but it seems he just a cunt, really.
Now I feel like fucking her to heal her inside out

Playing through 一つ飛ばし恋愛 currently. Wish Chino had a route but that would go against the gimmick of the game unfortunately.

>>18361339
>https://vndb.org/v19484
This game looks kinda interesting, but why does it say that the DS version lowered the difficulty of it? Is the PC98 version ridiculously hard or something?

So she goes to sell Sieg out just because Caim won't treat her the way she so unreasonably demands from him. I fucking hate this girl, at this point I wouldn't even feel that bad if she died a horrible death.

>>18364098

I like details like this.

>>18364098
that's hot as fuck actually

What are some good dumb but cute eroge? I want something with decent art with cute girls that is not also boring as fuck.

For example, something like Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai, but leaning a little bit more towards ecchi would be perfect. Bonus points if the girls are at least somewhat sukebe themselves

>>18364974
Daitoshokan isn't dumb, the writing is fairly quality.

I was in Tokyo recently, spent a lot of time in Akiba as per usual. Picked up a bunch of Eushully games and perfect guidebooks. Haven't played the middle two yet so looking forward to them.

For upcoming stuff, the most prevalent ads were by far for Riddle Joker, I saw it in almost every store. Following close behind was Yorikure, at least until it came out. Also saw a good number of ads for Summer Pockets, Otoboku 3 and the new Rance game.

Any thoughts on any of these? I'm kind of interested in Riddle Joker since it seemed to be so popular. I also stumbled upon the Yuzusoft store which had some pretty cool merch but I haven't played any of their games, so maybe this will fix that. Are any of their other games good? I'll probably check out Summer Pockets too since it's Key.

>>18365148
Yuzu spends a fuckton of money on aggressive advertising, I think that's a major reason you see them a lot. They are popular for that reason, and because their games are cute and have high budget.

>>18364098
Yea, she's completely broken. Pretty much your average 3D girl in 2D form. Lishia best girl.

>>18365157
It certainly looked that way but I'm all right with that. If they have the money for it then why not, right? It's also good to know that they've got the budget to have a merch store, so if I end up liking their games then I can buy their stuff lol. I feel like I'm falling for an elaborate trap but VN merch is hard enough to come by that I'm kinda okay with that.

>>18365148
I'm gonna play Otbk3 for sure. Been a fan since the original (though I prefer 2), and trial for 3 was pretty good.

>>18365148
Seeing all the eroge glitter in Akihabara is always nice, but I'm over physical copies now. Just takes space. If I buy now, it's online. Those guidebooks are nice, but I wouldn't like having them laying around after I finish reading.

Eh, overall nowadays I don't feel like owning anything.

>>18365212
I thought the girls were cute until I found out they might not be girls. Could I start with 3 or do I have to play the first game?

>>18365230
To each his own. You make it sound like you used to like them, so maybe I haven't quite caught up to you yet. I like physical copies for display and showing to friends, but this is the first eroge stuff I've bought. It was mostly manga and stuff until just now. I was a bit turned off by the prices but I really enjoyed Kamidori and Amayui so I wanted to support Eushully.

The guidebooks are really cool too. There's so much info and all these graphics, the wikis don't even hold water compared to them. I do agree the become a bit of a dead weight once you've played the game but they're fun to flip through regardless since they have concept art and other unreleased stuff.

I google Kanji I don't know or forget. Came across 杜撰 recently, I already learned a while ago but forgot. So I google 木 and 土, and there we go. Could google 木 巽, same shit. I never learned Kanji separate from words since that seemed meaningless.

So I never learned writing Kanji or strokes or w/e since it's useless to me. I don't plan on moving residence to Japan any time soon so handwriting seems pointless, and if I do need to learn I'm sure I can take care of the basics in a month or two.

>>18365247
You can start with any of them as they are completely separated stories.

>>18365417
>>18365247

>>18365247

Exactly. Initially it's appealing to have stuff around you, later not so much.

Any eroge you are looking forward to this month?
After playing Golden Hour, I am really digging the company's games

The opening is amazing as usual.

>>18366111

please pick one VN from 2017 as your favourite, and tell me about it! I haven't read in ages and want to find out some titles to check out

>>18367065
Apeiria
Hilarious comedy, engaging story, wild mindgames, fun twists, etc.

>>18367065
Apeiria should be the first thing you read, far and away the best release of 2017. Then maybe check out Istoria, Sai no Koro or Oni ga kuru.

>>18367065

>>18365247
You show off your eroge to friends? How often does that happen?

>>18367409
Maybe he means us.

None of my friends know Japanese or care.

>>18367065
ニュートンと林檎の樹

>>18367065
Istoria. Excellent characters, emotional rollercoaster, intense scenes, meaningful message.

>>18366111
Their Shoujo series is hot as fuck, I'm also looking forward to it.
Plotwise I would only recommend HimaKoi from them, but for some reason I still have a soft spot for the brand.

Going to a cafe to eat with people you know from your school is a pretty big deal.

Murasame seems like best girl so far, her teasing kind of reminds me of Miu from Dracu Riot. And a little 生意気? I guess they tried to put Mako in the same role but she's a bit too dere. I thought I'd like the blond cowtits foreigner girl (Lena), but she ended up being really annoying from the get go. Anyway, Yuzusoft. Cute girls and all, not really much to say.

After this, I should read something with actual substance.

>>18367409
I share manga and stuff, but I don't think the reaction would be very different if I showed eroge. The people I know are pretty chill about it.

>>18369993
Y

>>18369993
Yuzusoft girls are very cute indeed. Mako H scenes were very delicious.

>>18370009
Manga is a lot more normie friendly than eroge (except maybe for very un-galge-like stuff).

>>18367065
Flowers for some lesbian plot, since the last episode was released. Summer (2) part is pure fun and joy. The autumn (3) part opens up a lot in its treatment of the lesbian theme; it is a psychodrama where you constantly doubt when the protagonist will kill herself. Spring (1) and winter (4) contain the main storyline, basically about finding out what happened to the love interest who suddenly disappeared.

>>18370072
The only eroge I have so far are Eushully ones which are a lot closer to JRPGs than to typical galge stuff. My friends probably wouldn't really be interested in reading VNs anyway so I wouldn't bother showing those off.

>>18370032
Mako? More like pako pako

Speaking of Senren Banka, does Murasame return to her human body outside her route?

>>18370239
From what I remember, no. They don't even know that she has a human body somewhere.

Girls reading sex education

>>18370032

Maybe if she did something else but apologizing for feeling good during sex.

Why didn't you tell me 消えた世界と月と少女 trial is out?

>>18371878
You didn't ask.

>>18371883
Fair enough. I had lot to do these few days, so I couldn't pay attention to eroge-related stuff.

神ゲーの予感

I just discovered that the VN I was reading, 月に寄りそう, has an append patch with the trap MC being voiced.
Good thing I wasn't that far in, my enjoyment of the story has just been doubled.

I want Luna to bully me.

>>18371957
There's also simply the full version that doesn't need any patches.

>>18371957
>I want Luna to bully me.

Then prepare your anus. If you ask nicely, Luna bullies. Sometimes she also bullies without you needing to ask, but remember: Ask, when you can.

>>18371964
Yeah, it's what I ended up downloading since I couldn't figure out which version I had before.
Which also means there's an additional epilogue chapter for each ending now.

I'm really conflicted on which route to take first, they're all so good.
All aside Miho since she's guaranteed to turn into a quivering VN heroine once the MC's panties come off.

>>18371989
>Sometimes she also bullies without you needing to ask
I've noticed and I love it.
Every time she makes me go Awawa is a joy.

>>18372004
People usually only recommend Ursule and Luna as they are written by the main writer and far better than the other two. And don't forget to get the bad end, Otoriro branches off it.

>>18372037
Wasn't there also a guest writer who wrote the introduction chapter?
It was honestly jarring how much the tone shifted between the victorian drama it seemed to be in the beginning, and the light hearted trap antics of the actual game.

>>18372004

While the game will tell you this as well, the additional epilogue chapters are for after the spinoff. Just so you can plan accordingly. There's an april fools story as well though. That one you can read if you want to. (It drags a bit, but is otherwise not bad) Preferably after Luna's route I guess..?

What's a recentish game that has good gameplay and isn't made by eushully, alicesoft or made in rpgmaker? I'm in the mood for a real game with some ero.

>>18372138
venusblood hypno

>>18372138

Some ideas.

Izumo4: It takes a while to get to the "good" part of the gameplay. The story is okay, but gets weaker when the gameplay gets better. Routes are pretty shitty though, as you'd need to beat the final boss over and over again, which is quite frankly super annoying.

Tsuki no Michibiki Kumo Haruka: It isn't that much of an Rpg, but the battles are still fun. If you play to never take damage that is. It's like a puzzle, and as far as I've played it, it was always possible to figure out a solution to not take damage the first time you don a battle. (once you are high level it's obviously no longer a "challenge") I feel like the game was designed for that as well, even though technically you can get damaged. Quite a bit even, I think.
There's a grid where the enemy is on. Pretty long, but not very wide. (width grows as the game goes on I think) Enemies up to range 3 away are "active" and you see a counter over them, when they attack. It counts down every time you finish a turn, and if it turns 0, they attack. The grid automatically "advances", if there's no enemy or other object between the party and the next line afterwards. So if there's one enemy with range 1 away and nothing else on that line, after you kill it that line gets "removed" and everything formerly range 4 away gets activated. Inactive enemies don't "count down". Pretty much all your attacks do reposition enemies and you have some aoe as well. You also see roughly how much damage you do. So you shove around, aoe and so on in efficient ways, that nobody ever gets to 0 or if that happens, you are immune. (there are some very limited ways to do so) The idea never really changes, so it can grow old, but it's fun for at least a while.

Finally, if you just want a little causal gameplay and good amount of lewds, maybe consider Tou no Shita no Exercitus. It's okay. Or if you like your Softhouse Chara: Noroi no Maken ni Yamitsuki Otome. It's very old school, doesn't explain itself very well (it's designed for many playthroughs with ng+ so it's completely normal to be able to do next to nothing in one round at first), you'll be flag hunting and whatnot. But it's quite fun once you get into it, after cursing how shit it is. Like most Softhouse Chara titles really.

>>18366111
nukige?

>>18371878
Damn, the game takes a long time to start. And by design it seems, cause the readme mentions you having to wait. And then when it runs it has 4 processes.

The websites has the trail also for Macs and later for Android, so I guess they're using some portable engine, but it's making the Windows version pretty bad technically.

Oh hey, second trailer for Rance 10 just dropped.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyMYFBrBxLw

>>18372294
Running the game creates a "Chromium" entry in registry. Explains the multiple processes, I guess.

https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=bupsdyv8xCA
Less than 2 months until it's out.

>>18372776

That sounds horrible in so many ways. Holy shit. No wonder it got delayed by 2 months again.

>>18372978
why should i care about this

>>18373007
Well, there's a few who play this series here. I assume you shouldn't care though.

>>18372978
https://www.famitsu.com/news/201802/09151532.html
So it seems to have recurring characters from all previous games as well.

>>18373138
Also for anyone interested, MO1&2 is free on DMM today. Looks like you need DMM Player to play it though.

>>18373001
It's rough system-wise. Like, you can't press Esc to get back from settings, you need to mouse-click the Back button in lower-right corner of the screen.

Hopefully they make it more user friendly and overall smoother for the full release, cause so far I'm liking it.

>>18373490

Wouldn't be the first game that was made "browser compatible" and that fucked up everything. It probably killed Sorahane, too. Which is really unfortunate, as they games weren't just typical moege, had interesting themes and were fairly well received. The game in question with the horrible engine is also supposedly not bad, but they had to patch if for close to a year to make it work.

Finished chapter one of Shinigami no Testament. (which is more than it sounds) It feels kinda better than Bloody Rondo, but it has a LOT of consistency and logic issues. Some of those don't hurt, some do. A lot.

The main story is not something I can get really invested in, so I doubt I'll bother finishing the whole thing. I don't care about the main heroine, which is really really bad in this. The problem is that here is one of the big parts where things not making sense hurts. Someone who sees other people die, being actively part of killing other people and such, suddenly going nuts because someone died? (Not someone special to her or anything) That makes 0 sense. Not exactly sure why that same character was heavily claiming to do x, essentially just did the opposite one minute later either. No explanation. Nothing. And this leading to the main drama pretty much out of nowhere and me not particularly liking the heroine is a bad combination. I don't know what the hell happened. Because it honestly makes no sense.

I also did the Kana sidestory. This one is having the same issues of really awkward decisions and flow. Protag sees the news, someone got killed by a shotgun, and he immediately thinks "Hey, my girlfriend has a shotgun. IT MUST'VE BEEN HER!!!!!". What? Like... what? It's ultimately irrelevant. Like the very fact some random dude got killed by a shotgun. The list continues with similar things, mostly not really mattering here though. The main conflict actually makes sense, and works. It's just missing a lot of things, as there was more than enough left that should've probably been told. Time was out though.

Outside of that, the battles so far are also a bit strange. Most of them are still randoms, which is generally uninteresting, but with the exception of one they were short. The long one was however as bad as it could be. Random character, no value in anything he does or says and everything ends with a big deus ex machina meaning nothing matters in the battle. As expected I guess? However, there was also one battle that was alright, pitting characters against each other with both having understandable goals and none of them being random maniacs gone mad. That being in a sidestory is unfortunate, but at least something.


I'll continue this for a bit into chapter 2, but if this considers to have the same issues, I'll probably not make it till the end.

>>18372294
>And then when it runs it has 4 processes.
I still don't understand how it's possible for Japan to have such shit coding in VNs.

Every sane programmer in the world could run a static hi-res background with a few dynamic images on an IBM machine from the 80s, but Japan apparently needs hundreds of megs of RAM to do the same thing.

>>18375203
>I still don't understand how it's possible for Japan to have such shit coding
Fixed.
There's a reason why CS jobs in Japan are paid one tenth than they are elsewhere, and it's because they are worth one tenth of professionals in other countries.

You can frequently find stories of code monkeys going to Japan and blowing the locals' retrograde minds with 20 years old programming techniques that are apparently still new to them.

>>18375233
They impress me with their clever use of control structures.

>>18375309
They code like every language is assembly, and they reinvent the wheel with 6000 lines of code every time they need to do something that the standard library would do in 1

>>18375309
I would kill myself before writing that.

What is the general consensus on 壁の向こうの妻の嬌声 ～愛する妻の肢体はもう、隣の旦那を忘れられない～? Is it a good game? What about the sequel?

>>18375309
What's wrong with that?

What the FUCK is going on here?

>>18378389

Either big boobs or lolicon. Or "I like all sizes". It's kinda funny.

Finished Nao in Satsukoi. It was nice. The game balances drama and comedy nicely, so there's a scene full of gags (not the gagging-on-a-dick kind) after every tear-jerker one.

I like that despite the fact that this is a fantasy setting, it still remains kind of a down-to-earth story (or at least in this route).

The scene in pic related reminded me of Tsukihime, the part where Shiki follows Arcueid, and it seems like he's going to rape her, but then just ends up slicing her up.

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the 3-cg H that followed, but it felt a bit excessive...

>>18379146
oh and that stuff at the very end about LINN NOTIFICATION into 「誰だろう……」 was a bit cheesy

>>18379185

I like it. After the whole game you know that that was simply spam and nothing else.

The writer really likes to imply. The "sequel" of sorts also implies so much things about what happened after the ending of Satsukoi.

Anyone here willing to tell me on how to text hook AoKana? I've tried using chiitrans but it only shows partial texts or just different all together.
I'm not machine TL-ing, just using them to read the kanjis for me.

>>18379781
Are you adamant about using chiitrans? This list here shows AoKana as not needing any hook so I don't think you'd have any trouble using ithvnr

>>18379781
Instead of that learn Japanese.

>>18380113
remembering kanjis is hard anon

>>18380026
I usually read VNs using that so if possible I want to find some workaround on using chiitrans, but I'll try ithvnr if it still doesn't work.

So, the 2 is the prequel? I also remember Zebia naming her kid Ryuuto.

>>18379146
>excessive..
Nao's route in general felt unnecessary

>>18380614
Yes, although in the case of Zebia it's just a reference

>>18380130
you can ithvnr to clipboard and then chiitrans from clipboard if you like.

What a waste of potential soil fertilizer.

damn I thought nukige meant that in this much text there would be at least one actual sex scene (okay, I like peeing but I couldn't really get off to it right now, being kinda drunk)

o-or am I just not a lolicon after all? ;_;

(played お兄ちゃん大好き！ by tanuki)

>>18381544
clearly you aren't familiar with tanuki games, there usually isn't any standard penetration scenes for a long time. it's about a true pedo self insert fantasy where you steal and sniff panties, grope them while they're sleeping, go into the shower and have them glide your dick etc

>>18381593
Yeah, it's my first ever tanuki game. What you're saying was executed nicely, but I didn't know that beforehand, so now I spent my evening feeling guilty about looking at my imoutos as onnanokos, masturbating so they don't see my boner at breakfast, feeling guilty about being turned on by their pantsus even though I've seen those pantsus a thousand times before, since I do the washing!!

Thanks for the heads up though, man.

Maybe I am because I can't see those lines being anything but a turn off
I already avoid moege because otaku romance is terrible

How was 少女と年の差、ふたまわり?

>>18385605
Sometimes people have low self-confidence and it causes them to be overly harsh on themselves even in areas that other people say they excel at.

None of the games you posted are actually good

>>18385605
What game is this? The art style is lovely

>>18385991
It never really went anywhere once they started fucking until a pretty short scene with some poorly handled drama that was resolved very quickly.
Play amekoi instead if you want something with a similar premise.

Recommend me an easy one with few kanji

(non-eroge preferable)

>>18385605
That kind of dialogue feels so forced, especially when it's a 2D girl that has the perfect proportions, face, etc. Just seems like she's being manipulative and fishing for compliments, even though that's not the writer's intention.

>>18387254
Nothing. All vns assume you can read standard japanese. Stick to kids' manga until you reach the point where you're not asking dumb questions anymore.

>>18387254
You sound like you should stop learning Japanese.

>>18387254

I really love all the movie references in this game.

>>18387378
Like candy to my eyes

>>18387425
Eroge is lacking references to non-otaku stuff and
'pretentious' literature in general.

>>18384139
Slender girls are great. Also Saint Irene = best route

>>18387535
Also best heroine. Her occasional cheeky comments were pretty funny.

>>18383917
>Sakura no Mori Dreamers
this looks interesting actually, does the ghost and super power stuff not make the vocab confusing?

>>18387110

guess im dropping it.

>>18387431
vio likes to make rotk references

>>18387425
wot game

>>18387544
My one complaint is that when Caim fucks her she is not a woman of god anymore. But yeah, best heroine as well.

>>18384029
You know the premise. Get out to do things and get your shit together; stop being a fucking hikikomori. Let's say, it manages to be successful in its message in the same degree it managed to annoy the Japanese public for calling out their shit. Have to say, the authors had big balls by writing this to their public.
Work's being ignored in the most Japanese way of ignoring their own faults. But as a non Japanese person, reading it helps you understand Japanese society in the same way Higanbana helped you reach the gravity of the bully theme in Japan.

I'm reading this right now as well. I'm muting ayumu because I'm so tired of every one of her lines being her screaming and overreacting at something super minor. You're definitely right about the main heroine being complete trash as well.

>>18387378
Does this porn-game support 256 colors?

>>18387626
What's the lesson?

>>18387863
8 is all you need.

I really like 4:3 and I'm glad that Azarashi Soft still makes eroge in this aspect ratio.

>>18388028
It does at least limit the maximum angle of tilt.

>>18388028
Is that a hairpin with the 4chan logo on her?

>>18388051
Yes. You'd be amazed how popular the 4chan logo is. Look closely and sometimes you can even see 4chan logos in the grass.

>>18388060
Goddamn grass! I bet that's why there's been so many newfags pouring in!

>>18388046
No it doesn't.
There is no actual, concrete benefit to 4:3. It's all personal preferences based on emotion and nostalgia, nothing actually significant.

>>18387254
True Tears.

>>18387095
It's Evenicle

>>18388094
What was the point of this? What was going through the artist's head when they tilted this? You lose nothing by rotating the picture 90 degrees clockwise.

>>18388146
I don't know, but the point is, Japanese devs will tilt things to shit no matter the aspect ratio.

>>18387894
Japanese have shit taste.

>>18388094
that's absolutely hilarious

>>18388146

I don't think artists think a lot. Otherwise stuff like pic related would probably not happen.

Anyone play mushigurui hen?

What is the context of the above image?

>>18387561
Nah it's not chunni or anything. If you're using it as your first VN to learn you're probably going to struggle with it but that goes for anything you'll read really. Don't worry about it too much.

The horror atmosphere was well done and it has a plot that drives it forwards so even though it's not really what I would consider "horror," and also has a fair amount of moege elements, it doesn't really stagnate (until you get to the lovey-dovey parts after the long common route, but the actual heroine routes are pretty short actually).

Also the vndb synopsis has spoilers but you probably already read it so oh well.

>>18388640
Would i struggle because its my first, or because it has an obtuse vocsb selection/writing style? Ive read 2 other vn for a few days but nothing to completion

>>18388979
As the other person said, you're worrying about it too much. Most VN shit is "easy", only specific things (like chuuni action titles) will be hopelessly challenging. Instead of asking us (which is technically off-topic for this thread and goes in DJT), just dive in yourself.

I mostly started learning in order to get around the middle man in general. Censorship? Year long waits? No thank you. Also, even back then, I was aware that things inevitably got lost in translation. Even if you have a /lit/fag-level grasp on both English and Japanese, you're still going to find yourself having to make judgement calls on wording, and the end product is not going to be the same as the original. The two languages are too different.

I did enjoy Monster Girl Quest Paradox, though.

>>18388640
Sakura no Mori Dreamers 2 was pretty good too.

The horror was better in 2 in my opinion.

I hope they make a 3.

>>18389496
That's good to hear. I suspected that it was mainly just an excuse to include Madoka H-scenes, so I've been putting it off for a while.

I see they also have 仄暗き時の果てより which appears to be related. I'll look into reading more stuff by Moonstone after I finish off some more of my backlog.

>>18388979
alright, thanks for the help, i'll jump in and give it a go
oh also I was wondering, how is Himawari which I guess is also offtopic since it's translated now?? I think I got spoiled on it having some school death survival battle, but that's a major reason im interested in it

>>18389660
> 仄暗き時の果てより

This is definitely related, it's the same universe actually. I read it but didn't like it as much as Sakura no Mori 1 and 2.

>>18389758
Himawari is pretty good. Also you haven't been spoiled.
